I love to freeze fresh fruit chunks when I have extra during the summer. Feeling the need for Spring to get here fast, I checked my freezer for my supply. Unfortunately I was out. Fortunately the supermarket carried frozen mango chunks and pineapple chunks and it had me thinking…

I love the sweet and tangy combo of fruit salsa.  Tomato black bean salsa on top my tacos. Spicy peach salsa with blue tortilla chips. Mango black bean salsa on porkloin (for Hubster). Pineapple mango salsa on chicken… mmm… I love it all.
